tight, i havent practiced sweeping in a while, i cant forget to develop that skill, lately ive been focusing on slaps and scales. i practice at least an hour a day (i like to practice while watch tv) im saving up for a nice 6 string bass, i like the 6 string cause i can complete scales going all the way down the fretboard,

and i should correct myself, i love dubstep, i hate americanized dubstep, rusko and pretty lights are dubstep and thier two of my favs, when europeaan dubstep got popular in the states, americans were facinated by the wabble bass and i took over the entire genre

although i heard a badass pikachu (americanized) dubstep, loved it, they wabbled pikachu doing the thunderbolt, sick

Haha that sounds great!
Sweeps are a lot easier with a 6 string, as you don't necessarily need a right handed tap to do sweeps across two octaves. I love my 6 string just because it opens up a lot of options (and I've always wanted to go lower than E :P). Although I must admit it kind of feeds in to my habit of playing in a box instead of across the entire fretboard, and the neck feels like a cricket bat the first time you pick it up.

If I have one thing to recommend, it would be get a second-hand 6 string. I was able to pick up a German Warwick Corvette $$ 6-string for about 1/6 of the original price. It had a bit of body wear but nothing serious and it plays like a dream. I've heard there can be issues with lower end models having a floppy B string, I have no experience with them so I wouldn't know but it makes me happy I was able to get a high end bass at a great price.

And for slap bass, if you haven't heard Victor Wooten play then you're missing out I'm working on incorporating the double thumb technique in to my playing. As for scales, I'm kind of just trying to memorise the modes of the harmonic minor and the double harmonic minor scales for more heavy songs, mainly because a piece my guitar teacher and I have been writing is in D Phrygian dominant (the fifth mode of G harmonic minor) and I struggle improvising to it at times.
